Friendly, attentive, and masters behind the bar, they not only serve up excellent drinks but also great energy. You feel welcomed and taken care of, every single time. ZaZiBar is the kind of place you’ll want to return to again and again. Highly recommend!

Came with my team for birthday drinks and was pleasantly surprised by the cocktail experience. Definitely will be back to try more of the menu on the patio 🔥 Thank you to Nancy for taking care of our rowdy group and keeping the good vibes flowing. Our 6th star 👏🏽 🍹

If your giving this black owned business ANYTHING less than 4 stars you may need to reevaluate life because this establishment not only has potential for growth; but to reach exceptional heights! I must say, it delivered an unforgettable culinary adventure that appealed to all my senses. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making my family and I feel right at home. The menu boasted a remarkable diversity of elegant dishes that truly impressed me. I tried the jackfruit empanadas and smoked jerk tofu with spinach, each accompanied by their amazing homemade Zazi sauce. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and the textures were perfectly on point; divine I must say! The wings were cool too! Forgot to mention their salmon hushpuppies oh momma!! Not sure of the type of cornmeal they used, but can be overwhelming. The mass majority can give the fritters an unappealingly gritty texture, however the COOK made it super satisfactory to the taste buds savory, golden CRISP. They had a crispy exterior and a soft, fluffy interior and the Zazi sauce put it to a different stratosphere A big shoutout to Marlynda, our wonderful hostess, who added an extra layer of warmth to the experience. The artistry and innovation of the mixologist were equally impressive, crafting classic cocktails and modern creations with meticulous attention to detail. Her efforts alone made an outstanding outlook a worthwhile spent trip to Boston. Going the extra mile & consistent excellence to make sure we were satisfied. My favorite was the pumpkin espresso martini—simply divine in flavor! Absolutely luscious, layered with creamy & warm flavors. Also had the The New Vintage. This was Slow & Low. I like rye , so this was my speed. Old head vibes lol. Dangerous drinkable, had quite a nice spiciness that integrates perfectly with the floral and citrus. The Lavender Fields, is devisive to some bc some say it taste like hand soap, but I love it. Good on presentation and if you like dry gin, this is up your alley! Blends the floral of Gin with the sweet and slightly tart flavors of Crème De Violette. This establishment exceeded my expectations and truly ignited the atmosphere with its vibrant energy. I believe in supporting black-owned businesses, and this one has the potential to grow and continue impressing its patrons. It’s a fantastic spot to visit before or after hitting the town, making it an excellent choice for celebrating special occasions. I celebrated my brother’s birthday here, and it was the perfect setting to honor his future successes. I’m blessed to see black businesses thriving in Boston, and this speakeasy is definitely worth a visit! We will be back!

Amazing place. Vibe is so fun and upbeat. Bartender Mango and Laura were so nice and sweet. Helped with menu and tips on what drink to have next. You can't leave without having more than 2.

The food looked so good we forgot to take pictures before eating we took pictures after and the place is very sanitary and looks very clean the service was as amazing as the food And we met the owner and blessings.

Food: Queso Lobster Chips; Ginger Teriyaki Salmon (petit with mango salsa and rice and peas); drink (Zazi Lada with Bacardi Tropical, Pineapple, Lemon & Coconut) Ambiance: Upbeat. Parking: Street meter parking is available but it can be difficult to find a spot. Pricing: Pricey Food (flavors): The chip dish was pretty good. The cheese sauce had unique flavors and tasted sort of sweet, but I enjoyed it. The chips were made well and the lobster didn’t taste like it was plucked right out of the ocean which I appreciated but its flavor was too subtle for me. The salmon was cooked well and the mango salsa and sauce added a great burst of sweet flavors. The rice and peas were pretty standard. Portion size: The chip dish was medium-large. The salmon dish was small. Drinks: I LOVED this drink. It had an amazing blend of tropical flavor and it was sweet just like I like it!

I went for a drink on a hot summer afternoon and it brought me back to life. The drink was so delicious. I felt like I was in a 5 star resort.

We had an amazing experience at Zazibar! The service, food, cocktails & the vibes were unlike other places I've been to. Our server Diana was awesome! It being our first time, she helped us out a lot with her great recommendations on the handcrafted cocktails and food. We ordered the smoked pineapple teriyaki wings, the coconut shrimp, their take on the chicken & waffles, and the lobster mac & cheese. Really just need one word to describe their food and cocktails, DELICIOUS! Hope anyone that checks this place out is lucky enough to get Diana, her prompt service and great recommendations made our night. We will definitely be visiting again with more friends & family.

I love this place so much. So I googled, what time they closed. I wanted to go over there so I can get something that's Not available anywhere else in the seaport. Unfortunately, it was about nine twenty and when I googled, they said they closed at ten, but when I arrived, they had already been shutting down as a fellow person who works in restaurants as well as in the area I get when it's slow, we tend to close early. I just wish there was a way to alert the people who love the restaurant and brand that that is what's happening. I had to settle for a burger. I won't say from where, but it definitely wasn't as good as what I would have received.

Like many other reviews have stated this is still a bar and not a sitdown restaurant. Upon arriving on a Friday night around 9 PM, there were only one other party set at the bar, which were gone by the time we got our drinks. However, within 15 minutes, the bar was full. This this bar is at the bottom of a plaza in Seaport, which has a movie theater on the top so maybe a movie had just let out anyway there were two bartenders who were friendly but stretched very thin. When ordering, they informed us that their kitchen was closed while motioning to the side of the bar, which was a little odd. Instead, they had their late night menu to order from, which we actually found to be a more enticing menu anyway. They said the food would be delivered from their food truck very nearby. I ordered wings, which had a great crisp and came with a load of fries (also good). My husband ordered a burrito which was really yummy, and my friend ordered a salmon bowl, which she enjoyed as well, but felt could use a little more flavor. I think this can be a really good spot to stop by especially seeing as they are open late however I would only go during low volume times .

I genuinely had one of the best sandwich, I've ever had. The Boom boom roll, a jerk chicken sandwich the bun, the sauce was amazing. Even the margarita i had was great, just look at the picture

Zaz never disappoints food wise. The lobster Mac and cheese was really good. Plus let's give it up for the actual nice sized chunks of lobster they put in there. Not skimpy at all! The Jack fruit empanadas were also good (vegetarian friendly). lychee Me please (first drink shown) was really good (I substituted tequila for the vodka of course ‍). The Promise Me Lychee is a mock tail and was also good. Presentation on all the dishes 9/10! Definitely would go back. Only downside is the location. I can't believe they put ZaziBar in the hallway This restaurant/bar stop deserves its own brick and mortar business.

For a bar that's located in a lobby of a small shopping plaza, this place is a VIBE. You walk in and see lululemon and an escalator up to bar games, but underneath that escalator is Zazibar. At first it was just a pit stop for us, but the drinks were great, music was my taste (RnB), and the bartenders were attentive and cool -- so our pit stop became the destination. We tried the lychee/rose water cocktail, lavender cocktail, and then I asked the bartender if she had anything that wasn't too sweet, and she made a drink up on the spot. We also got the chips & dip, which was topped with lobster. It was very filling & rich. I have to say, pricing was pricey. It was $23 per drink, but being in seaport we should have known that, that's basically the standard cocktail price in this area. Overall, I'd recommend checking this bar out. It is a nice place to get drinks, apps, and start the night.

Came for a quick drink while I was waiting for my movie to start at the Alamo. It felt a bit pricey for what you get and the ambience but feels like this is how it is in Seaport. However, service was quick.

Drinks and service are quite nice, but it's really hard to justify the $23/drink price tag. The place doesn't have a full liquor license, only cordial and there is no real ambiance. It's located in a lobby. To be clear, I do like it! But there's better bars in the Seaport for your dollar and I don't see myself going out of my way to come here.

As a former Seaport resident, I wish ZaZiBar had been here when I lived there. It lives on the ground floor of the building that has Kings and Flight Club in it. I've been multiple times now, and if you walk in at a quiet time, it's a chill establishment, and if you come in when the music is going, best believe the vibes will be vibing! One thing I enjoy about ZaZiBar is that the cocktails are inventive. Yes, they are Seaport priced, but that is to be expected given the location. My favorite is the Lychee Me Please, which has a noticeable but not overpowering lychee flavor that goes very nicely with the Grey Goose. The Zazi Lada is a particularly beautiful drink that comes adorned with fruit and flowers. They really make you feel like you've having something special. On the food side: The food menu is limited but thoughtfully created. I'm leaning more and more into vegan dishes these days, and the vegan sliders are exceptional. I don't think I've ever called anyone's sliders exceptional (LOL), but they are! There are also Halal Beef Sliders, which carry much more of a flavor punch than their size would suggest. The smoked pineapple wings are also great. The first time I came here, the bartenders (who are all super nice--it honestly feels like a friendly, Southern vibe, except it's largely a Caribbean one!) grabbed fruit-shaped shakers, and so did we, and everyone started making music. It was such a fun moment that's difficult to capture adequately in words, but that's when I know that this place was something special. It's wonderful to have a Black-owned establishment in Seaport. I hope ZaZiBar will stay here for many years to come!

A great experience. The drinks are spectacular, well made. All the bartenders are cool. FYI the food is tapas style, so everything is small plates but things like fries and wings. The food is very good but if you are looking for a hearty meal, be prepared to spend more. Overall great for drinks.

Awesome experience. We found this spot on yelp and it was a bit challenging to find the actual cocktail bar as there are multiple venues in the building and the signage on the street is confusing. When we found it we were greeted by a wonderful bartender/mixologist Nancy. She treated us like royalty and we felt blessed to have her taking care of us. The cocktails were absolutely gorgeous and delicious in every way. Definitely check this place out, well worth a visit. We didn't try the food that day but the chef was super friendly and creative.

Decided to check this place out last week and initially had trouble figuring out where exactly it was located. It is inside by the elevators to King's bowling and next to the Lululemon, which did throw me off a little. Something I noticed was that there are a lot of people who walk in and out of the building and it's set in the middle of the two entrances, so with that being said, it was not the most well heated place because of the cold air entering constantly from both door entrances. I ordered the ginger teriyaki salmon and a guava mojito. My friends had the coco shrimp, jerk chicken burger, and paloma picante cocktail. We all ordered the grey goose strawberry lemongrass to try, as well. Overall, the food was all right. Presentation wise, it's cute but I would say it is a bit impractical especially for my entreé. The platter my food was presented on was much smaller than the one used for the chicken sandwich. I found it difficult to eat my food without making a mess and had to use one of the appetizer plates to transfer, then eat from. I will say though that the mango salsa sauce complimented the salmon very well, however, it was a hassle to eat and enjoy my meal. The strawberry lemongrass vodka shot was smooth and the guava mojito was tasty! It tasted like real guava. Two of my friends had the paloma picante, rated it 3/5. This drink has a gingery taste, which isn't noted on the menu description. Our server was very kind and attentive. She was helpful with order suggestions. I would definitely come back for the guava mojito, but most likely not sit down for a meal again. Menu items are a bit pricey for what you get in my opinion, then again it is located right on Seaport Blvd.

The food was spectacular. By far, the best lobster Mac n cheese I've ever had. So much lobster. And the Mac n cheese bake was just right. I'm not a fan of sweet sauces, but the pineapple wings were so good mixed with some spicy sauce they gave me. Chefs kiss! Also the drinks were so good. I had a Moscow Mule and the bartender put his foot in it. I am from Miami and didn't have anywhere to go in the area after I attended BAMS Fest. They were open and I'm so glad I went. I'm going to try and go again before my vacation ends.

Drinks took a long time - 18% gratuity on two drinks then it prompts for a tip. $25 a drink insane when they weren't even free pouring. Not worth it.

Zazibar is a bar. I went with the intention of getting a full menu and drinks. The drinks were great. For its location it serves as a great space to pregame, wait for your movie to begin or simply waiting for your date to arrive. I would go again!

Drinks were cute and staff was super friendly! However I would not recommend or go back. $23 for a drink that barely tasted like it had alcohol in it and it's located in a lobby, which makes it feel like you're at an airport bar. Seaport is expensive but there are WAY nicer, full restaurants and bars with great ambiance (not in a lobby) where the cocktails are $16-$18, way stronger and taste better. Not trying to be negative I just was quite shocked at a $57 (tip was added automatically) price tag for two Palomas.

EXCELLENT music. Loved the lychee cocktail. Bartenders were great as well. There is only bar seating available, and it appears to be first come first serve. We walked in and were lucky to find some seats available (we walked in around 8:30ish). We stumbled upon this place when we were looking for Flight Club.

The cocktails are amazing. Very limited seating area though. Wouldn't recommend reserving for a party more than five here

Zazibar is one of the finest restaurants in Boston, and likely the very best in the Seaport. Chef Olrie is unique: his dishes are one of a kind and executed to perfection.

4th time here. Food is always great. A little overpriced. Every Drink is specially made.

our server Gianna D was the worst part of the experience, she was rude and very disrespectful, she got made that I didn't like the drink and the chicken was dry , I asked for some dipping sauce and was told no there is no more!! she had a whole attitude towards us after this, she told me personally that me not liking the drink or chicken made her mad and thats why she mistreated us , she threw the receipt at us and had a nerve to charge 167$ for two chicken and 4 drink's which 25$ was her tip ..., Gianna here's a tip take some customer service course cuz u suc !!!
